Welcome to AFM Storytime, where every two weeks you get to hear a story by a different author. Some of these authors are unpublished some are published. These authors have submitted a story to one of Arena Fantasy Magazine's writing competitions or submitted a general story. Some of these stories are short whilst others are not. As the name suggests these are primarily fantasy stories, think of Knights in epic battles, think about magical creatures good or bad.

We are showcasing Micro fiction stories this episode. Each story is no more than 300 words. A Cautionary Tale by Steve Gibney a magician gathers ingredients for a summoning. To Serve The Anvil by Ceridwen Cerides, an overworked blacksmith contemplates his trade and Nagash's Folly by Dean Hodsfry, a person is tormented by internal demons, what happens next?
